London Maraton 2012 and racing

[Danny McGee]

Am i right in saying that the weekend of the London Marathon we usually have a national? I cant remember exactly so thought i would ask if anyone has done it before and had to miss a national or big meeting etc.

Am thinking about doing it and need to apply fairly soon im thinking.

Cheers in advance

Danny, are you crazy! Have you ever done anything like a marathon before? I did a half marathon about 5 years ago and thought that was bad enough!

I did it in 2009, had to miss a 1/8th nat but 1/10th wise it was fine but who knows what the dates will be next year.

It was a great day, i would do it again if i had the time for the training!!!!

This year (2011) is the first in a while that our Nationals and the marathon have clashed. Ive been down with work for the past 2-3 years but missed this year because of Stotfold.
